Missy and The Master, wat? I thought it might be that girl from Clara's class from the janitor episode.

it could be, I was just hoping it would be missy and the doctor, never thought it could happen.

I don't get your comment, Missy and the master? Missy is the master. I said I would have liked to see the doctor and the master together.

I find it more likely it will be a new character as that girl was more of a one time thing because they mentioned that she became president in the future, would be unusual for her to travel with the doctor, cos we know her future.

Series 9 looks good and promising, but I am expecting the usual Moffat grind here. I love Peter as the Doctor, and I adore Jenna as Clara, but this Series is looking and shaping to be better than Series 8, still nothing can beat Series 3 and Series 4. David Tennant is just brilliant as the Doctor, and they had some of the best episodes during Tennant's time. The Family of Blood, Gridlock, Silence in the Library, Forest of the Dead, Utopia, and The Waters of Mars were fantastic episodes. But Series 8 has the fabulous Flatline, and Listen, in which I enjoyed a lot. Hopefully Clara does not become the focal point of the series again, unlike Series 8.

Edit: As for the episode itself. I really liked it. An explosive start. When the kid said his name, I just thought, "it's f*cking on."

So is that really the end of Clara and "Missy"? Is the Doctor really pointing a gun at the kid, about to kill him? I think...

He's obviously not going to kill Davros. Great cliffhanger, but it goes against every bit of his being to both kill, and change the time line. He's going to point that gun down at those eyeball hands, and save him. Try to guide Davros to be good. And it'll backfire causing Davros to hate the Doctor and fuel his cause. But it is the Doctor. Maybe he does change the world for the good.

It's official, Missy needs to be a regular she is waaay better than John Simm's Master.

Seeing Clara back in a Dalek brought back those memories of when she first appeared back in Series 7 Part 1, and the way she was echoing her Dalek Version was definitely a good scene.

Also, Davros is quite possibly one of the only villains who the Doctor can relate with, but this time, he used that to the Doctor's disadvantage, I also hope the whole "Sewer Daleks" thing becomes a potential plot element in the future, Daleks who were brought back to life via Regeneration? Gotta be a good finale or something.

Overall "The Witch's Familiar" was a definite improvement over the confusing opener.

I'd rather the Doctor went without a sonic device a la some of the Classic Who Doctors, but the wearable technology line was pretty good. It's always going to be the Eccleston/Tennant screwdriver for me, though.

How on earth did the Doctor get an entire tank to the medieval era, though? And what did he do with it afterwards? I'm imagining some very confused archaeologists puzzled over a modern tank buried in a medieval castle.....or are we not supposed to question it, like the tea?

Can't wait for next week's episode, this is much better than the previous two episodes.

Also, any reason as to why every episode has been a two-parter lately? Not that i'm complaining, I love seeing these stories fleshed out, and not rushed into an Hour's showing.

I have no idea about the two-parters, but I ain't complaining either. Reminds me of Classic Who episodes which were usually fleshed out over around 4 episodes - many with the hilariously over-dramatic cliffhangers. Not that recent cliff-hangers have been over-dramatic.

I'm sure I've seen a lot of Classic Who parallels recently.....I think

Definitely, just look at his new outfit. Those checkered pants are just like the ones the first and second Doctors used to wear. And then there's the red velvet suit which is an obvious throwback to the third Doctor.

What a brilliant episode, these two parters have been really great so far! Much, much, much better than Series 8. Giving the Doctor some development, and somehow making Clara more likeable, as well as the Deaf Character, she was probably the star of the episode.
